LINKS I LIKE
Instead of constantly hunting through my 'favourites' files I figured why not have my own 'links' page. Ta da! Golly this web stuff is like magic! Too bad I'm so disorganized; goodness knows what you're likely to find here or where. If some sites appear under more than one heading that is because I forget where I file 'em and find it hard to find 'em (you shud see my 'favourites' list - what a mess!) Or it could also be because they are such great sites and I don't want you (or me) to miss them.
